Teammates who have visited Welker have left his hospital room visibly aggravated, often rolling their eyes, muttering to themselves, or saying things like, “Thank God that’s over.”
Patriots coach Bill Belichick has yet to make a trip to the Boston hospital, but said Monday that Welker had already left him more than 150 voice mail messages that alternated between tearful apologies for getting injured and personal pleas for Belichick not to forget about him while he’s away.
“Apparently he read an article where I said that the team would evolve without him,” Patriots quarterback Tom Brady told reporters after visiting Welker. “I had to assure Wes that didn’t mean I thought the team was better off without him or that I didn’t like him personally.”
